Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-5
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,
I'm experiencing a memory leak very similar to those that were around on
versions 3.0 or 3.2 of the package. Takes around 2 hours to get up to 400MB of
RAM usage, and it even got to 2GB of RAM during the course of a day (leaving it
unattended for a good bunch tho).
I tested disabling all of my extensions and the results is pretty much the
same, maybe a little slower to get to the same amount.

I have another computer using Arch with gnome 3.10 and the leak doesn't appear
to be present there, even when I have pretty much the same setup (Desktop
Environment wise).
Could this be a particular issue with the current version on testing?
